In 1962 the 1,762 acres of what is now Sterling Park were still large farms. Along Route 7, the Leesburg Pike, lay the dairy farm of Jesse Hughes, a longtime head of the county's Democrats, and Fred Franklin Tavenner ran much of Sterling Farm on the southwestern fringe, land he had bought from Albert Shaw Jr., son of Albert B. Shaw, editor of the American Review of Reviews. One of Shaw's farms, 1,640 acres, was called the Experimental Farm because it was among the first in the area to receive a federal grant for applying scientific methods.

Construction of Dulles International Airport began in 1959, and with water and sewer lines extended to it, land prices rose from about $125 to $500 an acre. Marvin T. Broyhill Jr. and his father planned to develop land near the airport, and in late 1961 they formed the Sterling Park Development Corporation, buying 1,762 acres in 14 parcels between April 28 and December 29, 1961, for $2,115,784, including the 226-acre Hughes farm at $1,700 an acre. They hoped to build on both sides of the planned Route 28, but Powell B. Harrison, who helped plan the road, insisted it be kept largely free of development for access to the airport, so Sterling Park was built east of Route 28 and the developers built their own through road, today's Sterling Boulevard. Broyhill planned to sell prefabricated homes marketed by U.S. Steel for about $17,000, $3,000 less than comparable houses in Fairfax County. Sources Wikipedia: Sterling, Virginia
